Why do you think there is no use in straddling?

Please watch this and that was my concern.

Are your orders usually filled during sudden moves? It's a great idea but usually doesn't Fill my order. In other cases I've longed and shorted before the news at same price with tight stops in both directions but its failed to stop
In that case you have set guaranteed stop loss which will cost you extra 3 pips.

Anything that signifies 'risk on' or 'risk off' tends to be correlated with AUD.

I don't correlate any of the markets. I look at each chart as a separate entity. This is the Aussie thread, so I posted my chart on the Aussie. This is something very short-sighted but forward looking.
The rejection candle was formed at the bottom of the cloud, and price is acting accordingly. It is now trapped under the kijun. The next stop is the red line under looking down under (Get it? Down under--lol?) at 1.0258. This is the slow time of the day, so we can expect that level to be hit sometime during Tokyo.

If I flip over to gold, S&P, oil, whatever, I regard that market unto itself. I don't trade anything outside of forex, but I do a lot of evaluating of other markets upon requests that I get on my blog, chat group, and it someone pops into my thread, I'll take care of whatever they want there too.

IMO, nope, I'm waiting to ~320 (I think this is an inverted H&S at 30min, we have to go to the neck line at 320, then drop again to ~270 to build the second shoulder, then NORTH).

But read my sig...

Mumble, mumble...
Use me as a contrarian indicator

Blind optimism suggests 25 base rate cut, already priced in, rises to 1.0450 and trigger more sells, rise to 1.0550 or 1.0640, shorts all go long, drop to parity...then go for a new high as fed announces QE3-4...off course this in all in my head...

Correct me if im wrong as im fundamentally weak, aus has low unemployment rate, v.little debt, yes its dependant on asia, who, if stop making crap we dpnt wish to buy, may switch to infrastructure plans which still require aus raw matietals...fed may increase rates to curb inflation, but inflation erodes their trillions of debt, and considering US housing market is dead & consumer spending is low, is raising rates a good idea...so that means aussie with a lower rate of even 4% still looks pretty good compared to the US rate...

I'm net long on AUDUSD (can read my previous posts).

For the past few days, I've bought the dips and sold it at the top and so far so good.

Today's buy limits are as follows:

@1.0250 - 1 Mini Lot
@1.0225 - 1 Mini Lot
@1.0200 - 1 Mini Lot

We'll see if the price goes down that low during the trading hours today.
Buy! Buy! Sell! Sell! Just make sure you have proper MM!

Nicey, i would have followed if u gave some conviction to your statement, perhaps a chart? I think you called a bit early though , it came back down another 20ish pips before it hit the bull run, your target still 450?

Its because that AUD/USD is trying hit the previous low and after USD news tonight at 830pm (GMT+8), it will break loose.

Have increased positions at every dip to 250,but it really looks dangerous. also long on USD/JPY last night.
